Nextie Wheels with Paul Hubs

Gravel in depth

Nextie ARX-W 35 wheels on Paul FHub Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and Paul parts we build with. The Nextie ARX-W 35 is a hooked carbon rim, 25mm inside, 35mm deep, about 350 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Paul FHub Disc hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

• Test results in public. Nextie publishes lab figures for some rims, including stiffness tables and a spoke hole test. On the Ocean 45G it reports 300 kgf at the spoke holes with no cracks or deformation.
• Less stress at the spoke head. Spoke holes are chamfered, and on the WORD the flanges are canted toward the rim. Paul does this to reduce stress on the head and elbow of each spoke.

Nextie AM 40 wheels on Paul FHub Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and Paul parts we build with. The Nextie AM 40 is a hookless carbon rim, 34mm inside, 32mm deep, about 475 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to Paul FHub Disc hubs (front wheel) in 32 hole.

• Carbon and coverage that step up by edition. Standard rims are all T700 with a 2-year warranty, Premium adds T800 with 3 years, and Supreme adds fibers like T1000 with 5 years. Nextie says it tuned these mixes over rounds of testing for impact resistance.
• The hub that started single speed mountain bikes. Paul introduced the Wacky One-Speed Rear Device in 1996 and calls it the first purpose-built single speed mountain bike hub. Paul says its 52mm chainline is a standard that continues today.
